Mexpogroup Cactus Grown in Mexico; 44 lbs, 20 KG; Calle El Rosario #20581 Col Buenos Aires Norte C.P. 22700 Tijuana, Mexico.

Shasta Produce recalled Mexpogroup Cactus in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Dec 19, 2013.

The recall cites insanitary manufacturing conditions: "CA Dept of Pesticide Regulation, Enforcement Branch, sampled Mexpogroup Cactus and found the following chemical which do not have a tolerance level in the US: Monocrotophos - 2.37 ppm; Carbendazim as Thiophanate Methyl - 0.154 ppm; Chlorothalonil - 3.61 ppm." Recalls of this type follow FDA findings that a product may have been exposed to contamination during processing or storage.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "CA only." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in South San Francisco, CA. The recall covers 42 cases 44 lbs. each of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 5, 2014), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
